AFAMS Definitions Dari Undercontrol/ Controlled Medications “A group of medications which their usage can cause drug tolerance and drug addiction, drug toxicity, and some neurological effects like excitation, unable to concentrate, euphoria, unconsciousness, dizziness, also some patient can misuse the medications.” “Inconsequential use…may cause drug dependence and addiction.” MEDCOM Policy on Undercontrol/ Controlled Medications AFAMS Insert Dari

AFAMS Definitions Dari Drug Dependence: A physical dependence which is an adaptive physiological state that occurs with regular drug use and results in a withdrawal syndrome when drug use is stopped. It is usually associated with increased tolerance. Physical dependence alone does not imply addiction. Addiction: “It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving” CAMH AFAMS Insert Dari

AFAMS Definitions Dari Withdrawal: With regular use of a substance, biochemical and structural adaptations take place in the brain. Withdrawal is the group of unpleasant symptoms and signs that a person experiences when, after a period of regular use, the quantity of available substance in the brain is reduced. Upon stopping use, the brain takes days or weeks to return to normal. During this time withdrawal is experienced. AFAMS Insert Dari CAMH

AFAMS Definitions Dari Withdrawal Continued: Symptoms and signs of withdrawal are opposite to the main effect of the drug. For example: –Sedative withdrawal creates hyperactivity with dangerous medical complications. –Opioid withdrawal is accompanied by anxiety, powerful cravings and flu-like symptoms. –Stimulant withdrawal consists of depression, insomnia and cravings. Withdrawal symptoms are relieved by giving the same or similar drug. AFAMS Insert Dari CAMH

AFAMS Definitions Dari Tolerance: Tolerance is a condition in which higher doses of a drug are required to produce the same effect experienced during initial use. Tolerance is often associated with physical dependence. In therapeutic use of a drug with psychoactive effects (e.g., morphine for chronic pain relief), patients tend to become tolerant to the psychoactive effects (e.g., euphoria, reduced anxiety or sleep inducement), but not the therapeutic effects. A patient seeking higher doses of, for example, a narcotic may be seeking the euphoria, relaxation, increased concentration to which they have hdeveloped tolerance. AFAMS Insert Dari CAMH

AFAMS Why are some drugs more addictive than others? (DARI) Drugs are potentially addicting in that they produce a marked difference between altered and drug-free psychic states. A drug’s addictive potential is determined by its ability to produce: –a rapid onset of action –a powerful euphoric effect –a short duration of action –tolerance and withdrawal. The more of the above features, the greater a drug’s addictive potential. Tolerance and withdrawal increase the addictive potential of a drug by making it difficult for a person to stop using it without experiencing discomfort.
